A festive giveaway with Cast Fires

I know, I know, I am already talking about next year and it’s not even January yet. Christmas is almost here, and we are all very excited and rushing around to finish so we can enjoy the festivities. To be talking about January and next year seems a bit silly.

But don’t despair, this is a post that may cheer you up, in anticipation of the post Christmas blues (yes, that’s a thing!)

If you have a log fire or a fireplace then you may be looking for something to hold your logs or simply to make your fire place area look nicer, or add an eye catching accessory. We are considering having a fire place installed next year, and I am already planning what it will look like and what I will put around it. I am still trying to decide if we want a more modern look or a slightly old fashioned effect, and how that will fit in with the room we want the stove to sit in.

We have a fabulous giveaway in partnership with Cast Fireplaces to share with our readers.

So if you would like to be in with a chance to win this, then all you have to do is to share what kind of fireplace you would have or give me some tips on looking after a fire place or stove because it’s all new to me…

I used to do the same. Roasting chestnut .
But our years old fireplace still works just fine. Few days earlier i add a wood stove fan.
At first it had some problem, thanks goes to my friend mike who helped me out the problem.
Its working perfectly now.Alex Turner recently posted…Top 11 Red Stovetop Kettles for Your Kitchen

I have quite an old brass fireplace right now, more older looking the better as far as I am concerned and I wish I had a victorian one! Keeping it tip top just requires a polish and a companion set and a clean out whenever needed

I chose a modern scandi design, I have a great danish log burner, clean effective. My tip is to use old candle ends to crayon over newspaper as a great fire starter, and use a used cork wine bottle cork to clean the inside of the glass when required, then pop it in the fire ready to start the next burn

I love Modern style fire-places, they are so much easier to clean and care for and keep safe. We have a log-burner, we had it installed last year and I absolutely love it, the heat it generates is amazing and it’s so easy to care for and clean out.

What a stunning basket – it would go really well with the fireplace set I got my hubby for Christmas. My hubby talked me into getting a log burner and it has been really cosy over the cold winter nights we have had. I’m sure you will enjoy yours!Fingers crossed.

Im new to it too! We had our log burner installed in December and are still getting use to things. We live in a Georgian house so its a simple looking burner with an oak mantel and a York stone hearth. Iv been using an old damp tea towel to wipe over the stove after its been cleaned out and so far its working fine. My installer told me that very fine wire wool can be used to clean the glass if it becomes tarnished but iv not needed to try anything else yet. A basket would be a lovey addition to our fireside 🙂
